When fighting Onoki, Hiruzen came up with the idea of using the "Reaper Death Seal".
After all, at that time, he did not have a ranking on the Kage Ninja list.
If there is a situation where he has to die in battle, the use of the Forbidden Technique of "Reaper Death Seal" will become Hiruzen's choice.
Of course, this is a choice that Sarutobi Hiruzen will only make unless it is a last resort.
Fortunately, at the end of the battle, he was still stronger, and he won against Onoki.
'If not because of the time lag after using "Reaper Death Seal" perhaps, I can get a higher ranking by relying on this ninjutsu.'
'With the God of Death's power, even Rifan's disciple or Rifan himself, maybe he could defeat them!
Thinking of this, Hiruzen couldn't help but get excited.
He would never have known that Rifan was, in a way, a Shinigami himself.
Even though Rifan left Zanpakutō to his disciples in the Pirate World, he still has Shinigami's exclusive Reiatsu.
If the Shinigami of the ninja world appeared in front of Rifan, he might be scared enough by the terrifying Reiatsu on him.
[Senju Hashirama: Saru also won, so it's my turn to play next, haha~]
[Gengetsu Hozuki: Oh, is it finally coming? I can't wait to see how Kirigakure shines, hahaha~]
[ Sarutobi Hiruzen: Please wait, Shodai, before you fight Terumi Mei, please allow me to challenge Terumi Mei once more. ]
[Senju Hashirama: Hey, Saru, didn't you lose to her before? Could it be that you still have some means you haven't used?]
[ Sarutobi Hiruzen: Shodai, your skills have been fully demonstrated in the golden list challenge arena, but Terumi Mei still has a lot of power that has not been shown. I think it's good for me to explore her ability first. Moreover, I also want to fight her once again. ]
[ Terumi Mei: Hey, Third Generation old man, I have no interest in fighting a defeated general like you. First Hokage, how long are you going to make me wait? ]
In Kirigakure, Terumi looked impatiently at the golden list message area.
It's been a long time since she split up with her clone and was ready to fight.
She had been waiting impatiently.
Now that Hiruzen still has the mind to challenge her, how could Terumi Mei be happy?
Having seen the battle between Hiruzen and Onoki, Terumi was able to determine that Hiruzen's strength had a gap with her.
Even without using the ability to stop time and space, Terumi can completely crush Hiruzen by relying on the other abilities of the Ice Emperor.
For such a meaningless fight, she didn't want to fight it at all.
After all, once again defeating Hiruzen, she can't get a higher ranking, so it's useless fighting that old man at all.
However, although she was unwilling, she could not stop Hiruzen from making a decision.
Soon, the latest golden characters appeared first on the list.
——Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen challenges Fifth Mizukage Terumi Mei, please prepare both sides.
——The challenge field will open in 10 seconds...
"This bastard!"
Terumi slapped her palm on her forehead and shook her head helplessly.
"Since he wants a challenge, let him regret his actions." Terumi clone put her hand on her shoulder, gave her a thumbs up, and said with a smile:
"In addition to "Mahapdama", don't we also have an 'Ice Cavalry'?"
"It's just right, we can show these rebel ninjas our power, isn't it?"
Hearing this, Terumi looked at Zabuza and the others who were standing behind her.
"You're right, clone."
"Since that bastard dares to challenge me, I'll let him hold on for even a minute."
Terumi made a fist with her left hand and slapped it on the palm of her right hand, with a frenzied smile on her face.
With the end of the countdown time on the golden list, Terumi disappeared from the Mizukage building.
"Did Rifan teach you the "Ice Cavalry" you just said, Terumi Mei?"
Zabuza narrowed his eyes and asked the clone that Terumi had left behind:
"And that 'Mahapdama', is that the trick you will use for the First Hokage?"
Terumi Mei's avatar smiled slightly: "Don't be in a hurry, Zabuza. Anyway, you'll see it soon. As she said before, Teacher Rifan taught us to use the power of ice first."
